and ia given credence in certain quarters secretary redfield ie now in wash ington but his intimate friends deny there is any possibility of his re signing the resignation of redfield if it is offered will be due directly to the manner in which he handled the eastland investigation in Chicago president wilson it is said failed to appreciate his cabinet member's attempts at humor in such a matter and the universal criticism of the secretary was extremely distasteful to the administration it is generally understood that president wilson personally suggest ed to redfield that he return to washington and permit the authori ties in Chicago to attend to their duty and there is a strong impres j slon that redfield has not found things as pleasant as he would like them since his return from Chicago from the same source it is asserted that there is also a possibility of the cabinet losing another member garrison may resign secretary garrison it is said in tends to resign and run for governor of new jersey it was not possible â– , to obtain from secretary garrison an official statement of his intentions once before however when similar i reports were circulated the secretary intimated he intended to serve out his full term in well-informed circles it is i thought that the resignation of sec retary garrison is less of a probabil j ity than that of secretary redfield the

interview given the international news service says america stands solely upon her legal right without touching the ethical side at all this is so much the more peculiar as americans es pecially are inclined in talk about ethics and christian morals more than once i heard distinguished americans speaking contemptuously of the old world's morals considering them decrepit and intolerable big orders stifle disgust when this war began america was filled with abhorrence and disgust a general demand was ut'ered that mass murder must be ended immedi ately but when the agents of eng land france and russia with fat pocketbooks came giving big muni tion orders cries for peace ceased and orders were filled although wash ington must have known the gigantic export of war material must prolong the war enormously to-day it is no longer a question whether some isolated american firms furnish arms to england but the fact is practically the whole nation has become a sort of large manufacturing plant for england allies harmed in long 111 x here is the rao;t important point had america prohibited the export of arms six months ago the war would have ended long ago the comical and grotesque part is that the allies would then have obtained much bet ter peace terms than now for then th russians still held galicia and poland while the english and french had not yet proved to the whole world that they were unable to take the offensive had america prohibited exports of munitions she would have been the peace arbiter now this is impos sible â€ž the world's history will decide hereafter whether

goal at which they are ail.il 1 '?. and toward which they are now pr - paring to make the pre.imiuary ad vances is nothing less than che ter mination of the greatest war the world has ever seen how situation developed the steps by which this situation has developed are as follows | the united states made demanda on germany for satisfaction tor cretain acts reparation for the loas of american lives and assurances that in the future germany should condust her submarine warfare so conduct her submarine warfare ao strict accordance with the recog nized rules of international law 2 germany's reply to this was an â– attempt to justify her course of conduct but reserving her final statement of position in answer to this government's specific demands she took pains however to recall to the attention of the united states that she had noted with satisfac tion this country's proposals made early in the war with a view to paving the way to a modus vtvendl betwen germany and great britain for the conduct of the maritime war i . s tenders offices 3 the united states then repeated its original demands for the protection of american lives and apparently taking the hint con tained in the german communica tion suggested in such a form that it might reasonably be accepted ma an intended inducement that she would be glad to act as a go-be tween for germany and great brit ain to obtain an understanding br which the character and condition of the war upon the seas might be was equally indefinite and unsatta changcd 4 the form in which this suggea â– tion was made not being suffi ciently definite for the german government it made a reply which was equally indefinte and unsatis factory and suggested again that it . would be glad to avail itself of the good offices ot the president of the united states in the direction of the lofty iueal of the freedom of the seas opens way to germany 5 this brought about the result â– which germany desired the united states reiterated its original demands and coupled with them a definite offer to act as the common friend who may be privileged to suggest a way to the belligerents by which the freedom of the seas might be obtained this gave germany the oppor tunity to concede all the points made by the united states and in the same breath to accept the â– Â«â– > gestlon of mediation on the free dom of the seas this was of su preme

hears by international news service washington aug 28.â€”secre tary redfield of the department of commerce it lo resign from the cabinet this is the report froai an appar ently authoritative source and ia given credence in certain quarters secretary redfield ie now in wash ington but his intimate friends deny there is any possibility of his re signing the resignation of redfield if it is offered will be due directly to the manner in which he handled the eastland investigation in Chicago president wilson it is said failed to appreciate his cabinet member's attempts at humor in such a matter and the universal criticism of the secretary was extremely distasteful to the administration it is generally understood that president wilson personally suggest ed to redfield that he return to washington and permit the authori ties in Chicago to attend to their duty and there is a strong impres j slon that redfield has not found things as pleasant as he would like them since his return from Chicago from the same source it is asserted that there is also a possibility of the cabinet losing another member garrison may resign secretary garrison it is said in tends to resign and run for governor of new jersey it was not possible â– , to obtain from secretary garrison an official statement of his intentions once before however when similar i reports were circulated the secretary

to austria-hungary defend ing the shipment of ammunition to the allies they declare the reply avoids the principle involved baron hengelmueller former am bassador to washington in an exclu sive interview given the international news service says america stands solely upon her legal right without touching the ethical side at all this is so much the more peculiar as americans es pecially are inclined in talk about ethics and christian morals more than once i heard distinguished americans speaking contemptuously of the old world's morals considering them decrepit and intolerable big orders stifle disgust when this war began america was filled with abhorrence and disgust a general demand was ut'ered that mass murder must be ended immedi ately but when the agents of eng land france and russia with fat pocketbooks came giving big muni tion orders cries for peace ceased and orders were filled although wash ington must have known the gigantic export of war material must prolong the war enormously to-day it is no longer a question whether some isolated american firms furnish arms to england but the fact is practically the whole nation has become a sort of large manufacturing plant for england allies harmed in long 111 x here is the rao;t important point had america prohibited the export of arms six months ago the war would have ended long ago the comical and grotesque part is that the allies would then have obtained much bet ter peace terms than now for then th russians still held galicia and poland while the english and french had not yet proved to the whole world that they were unable to take the offensive had america prohibited exports of munitions she would have been the peace arbiter now this is impos sible â€ž the world's history will decide hereafter whether

and germany are now engaged in diplo matic negotiations which because of the tremendous issue i involved may i properly be regarded as t mo3 momentous of their kinc tq the hi tory of the world the goal at which they are ail.il 1 '?. and toward which they are now pr - paring to make the pre.imiuary ad vances is nothing less than che ter mination of the greatest war the world has ever seen how situation developed the steps by which this situation has developed are as follows | the united states made demanda on germany for satisfaction tor cretain acts reparation for the loas of american lives and assurances that in the future germany should condust her submarine warfare so conduct her submarine warfare ao strict accordance with the recog nized rules of international law 2 germany's reply to this was an â– attempt to justify her course of conduct but reserving her final statement of position in answer to this government's specific demands she took pains however to recall to the attention of the united states that she had noted with satisfac tion this country's proposals made early in the war with a view to paving the way to a modus vtvendl betwen germany and great britain for the conduct of the maritime war i . s tenders offices 3 the united states then repeated its original demands for the protection of american lives and apparently taking the hint con tained in the german communica tion suggested in such a form that it might reasonably be accepted ma an intended inducement that she would be glad to act as a go-be tween for germany and great brit ain to obtain an understanding br which the character and condition of the war upon the seas might be was equally indefinite and unsatta changcd 4 the form in which this suggea â– tion was made not being suffi ciently definite for the german government it made a reply which was equally indefinte and unsatis factory and suggested again that it . would be glad to avail itself of the good offices ot the president of

demands and coupled with them a definite offer to act as the common friend who may be privileged to suggest a way to the belligerents by which the freedom of the seas might be obtained this gave germany the oppor tunity to concede all the points made by the united states and in the same breath to accept the â– Â«â– > gestlon of mediation on the free dom of the seas this was of su preme
